\"SIMAcer are a lesser known smartphone manufacturer, but their Liquid series of smartphones have been well received over the past few years. This week Acer announced the\u00a0Liquid X1<\/a>, a new phablet-sized phone with decent specifications and a low price. Let’s take a look at the phone, which will be available sim-free at Mobile Fun.<\/p>\n

The phone’s most noticeable feature is its 5.7-inch display, which clocks in at a resolution of 1280 x 720. That’s a bit behind the standard 1080p and the LG G3’s 1440p, but it’s still a reasonable resolution for a display this size.<\/p>\n

Inside, you’ll find a octa-core Mediatek processor, running at 1.7 GHz. This is backed with 16 GB of internal memory, with a microSD card slot to add up to 64 GB of additional external storage. The X1’s chipset is 4G LTE capable, Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi ac. Inside, there’s a 2700 mAh battery which should easily allow for a full day’s use.<\/p>\n

On the back, you’ll enjoy a 13 megapixel camera which should be quite capable, particularly in well lit areas. There’s also a 2 megapixel camera on the front for selfies and video calls, as you like.<\/p>\n

Acer have always had quite a light Android skin, and that remains true on the X1. Android 4.4.2 KitKat is the core OS, so you’re on the latest version of Android from the off.<\/p>\n

The Liquid X1 looks like a strong choice if you’re looking for a mid-range phone with a little larger screen than normal. It’s coming soon sim-free and unlocked to Mobile Fun, so check it out at the product page below:<\/p>\n
